USING THE SCORING BLADE HOLDER
- The
scoring blade should be located in the cartridge as
shown opposite. To score fracture sensitive
plastics such as acrylic use the same technique as
used for cutting heavyweight materials (see
above). To break, move the material so that the
score line runs along the front edge of the table
and using the cutter as a clamp, apply downward
pressure to the overhanging plastic to break.
(SAFETY GLASSES AND GLOVES SHOULD BE
WORN)
USING THE ROTARY BLADE HOLDER
The rotary cutter blade holder supplied with this
machine is used to cut textiles, thin paper and
other flimsy material. It uses a circular blade to
press down onto the substrate to be cut. The
substrate being cut is supported by a plastic
cutting strip embedded in the base of the
machine. The blade guard makes it safe to handle
but be careful as the blade is very sharp.
To change the cutting channel, first raise the
cutter bar using the Lift and Hold lever. Then
loosen both of the hinge location screws until the
underside of the screw clears its location recess.
Push the cutter bar back until the underside of the
location screw lines up with the rear recess and
tighten the hinge location screw. Repeat at the
other end. The cutter bar is now positioned over
the plastic cutter strip.
The cutting strip can also be removed, turned
around or flipped over allowing four tracks to be
used before the strip requires replacement.
Replacement strip are available from your dealer.
CHANGING THE ROTARY BLADE
Blades can be replaced by undoing the knurled
brass knob on the rear of the unit.
